Easter, Bright and Glorious!

Bougainvillea twined around the fence near our driveway

Thank You God, for EASTER!

Thank You for the resurrection of Jesus the Christ and for the hope that came into the world on that Day.

Hope for a future life after death — hope for a more abundant life — now.

Just look, God, at these humble bougainvilleas.  I was going to search for photos of flowers magnificent enough to put on this Easter blog.

But, these ordinary bracts when lit by Your SunLight GLOW! And isn’t THAT what  You want to do with us!  SHINE on us until we GLOW with Your Light and Love!

Perhaps it is because I am such a NOW person, God, that I focus on the ABUNDANT LIFE that Jesus promised — more than an afterlife later. Mind You, God, I LOVE the idea of Life after Death. The very idea of it gives PERSPECTIVE to this time and place. Everything seems more meaningful and to my surprise MORE important than it would be if this linear sequential time was all there was.

I’m sitting here — with my heart so full — full of THANKSGIVING AND REJOICING.  My mind is full of AWE and AMAZEMENT. This is OVERWHELMING!

Now, God, how is it that it is so hard to share this Good News? How is it people turn aside? Hmm, yes, it might have something to do with how rigid some believers are — it might have something to do with people trying to scare folks into believing — turning the Good News into Bad News.  Forgive us, God.  Forgive us — and help us to stay in Your Light and Love — and not get in Your Way.
